Hey all,

I need people with OEM ITR's to do me a favour if it's possible.
I need to see pictures of the bolt pattern on the rear spindles to
the rear trailing arms. I have a sneaky suspicion about something.

Thanks for your time,

Ryan

In the next day or two I'll be rotaing my tires, explain what you need and I'll take pictures for you... If you can wait.
for now this is all I can offer. http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_im ... 05_146.jpg on page 3's bottom> http://www.cardomain.com/ride/503605/3

All Honda rear spindles are a separate piece from the rear trailing arms.
Whether you have 4X100 disc brakes, or 4X100 drums, or even 5X114.3 discs,
I think they (as in all Honda's with double wishbone front and rear suspensions)
all have the same trailing arms, but different spindles bolted to them.
That being said, the spindles are bolted to the trailing arms with 4 bolts.
You can see them from the backside of the trailing arms. I needed to see the
bolt pattern off of an ITR rear spindle to trailing arm to further confirm my theory,
and seeing that I don't have an ITR, so I need someone's help.
I have successfully confirmed that the EG (1992-1995) Civic's all have the
same trailing arms even though the Si hatch has disc brakes and everything else
has drums. Instead of swapping the entire trailing arms you can simply remove and
replace the spindles instead. I wanted to see if this is the same for the ITR.

Thanks a million!

P.S. I've included a diagram of where to look, and snap ;)

I hope to be working on my suspension this weekend. If you still need the picture I will take it and post it up.

I will definitely need the pictures.
I have someone local selling a 5 bolt conversion kit off of an ITR.
I'm trying to get a hold of the person so I could see it in person.
